canon camera?

rockkkkin

friends, I ve zeroed in on the following cameras:
Powershot A650 IS
Powershot S5 IS
Powershot SD 890 IS
Request you experts to tell me which one is the best. I would also like to know how many shots I can take with the ones with AA batteries and the ones with Nimh batteries.

Answer
Here's the side-by-side comparison of the three feature by feature:

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_a650is%2Ccanon_sd890is%2Ccanon_s5is&show=all

However, keep in mind that you are comparing the cameras from three different Canon Series.

A650IS - that's "A" series, this is the most basic and affordable Canon offering for starters. Just about your basic down to the ground cheap camera...

SD890IS - that's "SD" series, aka ELPH. They are also the basic cameras, but snapped into a more compact body. They are for those who are willing to trade a little quality for a smaller size, so that they fit into the purse or shirt pocket.

S5IS - The "S" series. Largest of all, originally "S" series was marketed as a more or less prosumer camera, meaning point and shoot with advanced features. Later that hype went to Digital Rebels, that became more affordable, but there's still a load of manual features and such on "S" cameras, but their main marketing point right now is the ultra zoom range. In fact it has the smallest sensor of the three, but because it's a bit fewer megapixels in fact pixel density on sensor is better than SD890IS, so it's a good thing.

So it's basically for you to decide what you want:
Cheap and basic - go for "A"
Slim and compact - go for "SD"
Large, a bit more advanced and super zoom - "S" is your pick!

Good luck with your choice!

P.S. I'd guesstimate the best performance per charge will be for the one with built in battery, you will want to buy NiMH rechargable and charger for the other two. On the bright side, they are cheaper than dedicated battery for spares, and if you do run out, there are always AA's available in nearby drug store.

canon camera that uses AA Batteries?

Answer
What gives a camera its picture quality?

The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set up the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD screen. Would suggest that you find one that also has an optical view finder because the LCD screen is almost impossible to see in bright sun.

Higher mega pixels may not really be the best thing to look for. It is more expensive, takes longer to process, and may not be needed unless you are making a really large picture or blowing up a small part of a picture. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=398&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=2039 ...

Check this camera. FUJIFILM - FinePix 10.0-Megapixel Digital. This is more camera for the money.
Wide-angle shooting, a 12x optical zoom and picture stabilization mode combine in this camera for exceptional shooting performance, even at a distance. Plentiful scene modes, autofocus and automatic white balance controls make this camera a snap to operate. Life time Warranty (Parts & Labor).You may be able to find it on the Internet for a lower price ($144), but be careful of the vendor.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual.

The source links will show most of the cameras out there with prices and help make your digital cameras work better.

whats the best digital camera on the market for a low price but good quality?

shell

Answer
I think the best deal of the season is the Canon Powershot A530. It has been on sale at numberous big box stores below $130. That's a good price on a good camera. The A530 was selling for $180 not too long ago. I've recommended this camera within my own family, so I'll be living with the results of this recommendation right along with you. You can use the rest of your budget to buy a decent memory card.

The Canon's have an optical viewfinder, which I feel is essential, especially if you don't want to be one of the people coming back here in January complaining that your camera uses batteries too fast. The Canon's zoom to 140 instead of 105, which is significant. The Canon's use SD memory cards, which are always easy to find. The Canon's can use "AA" batteries, including rechargeable batteries or anything you can buy in a drug store. (Lithium are the best.)

The Fuji has a larger sensor, which may provide better low light performance. The Fuji is lighter and smaller.

Filter for a Canon - PowerShot 12.1-Megapixel Digital Camera?

jump4joy

I just spent a good sum of money on a canon powershot SX20 IS. So when I went to find a filter to protect the lens I was very distressed, there were none I could find. If anyone knows where I could find one? thanks

Answer
The SX20 IS (which is basically a point & shoot camera with a 'superzoom' lens) doesn't have a filter thread on the end of the lens, like a dSLR camera has. So, you simply need to take care and make sure you attach the lens cover when you turn the camera off.

You can also attach the supplied lens hood for varied shooting conditions, however, Canon recommends when you turn the camera off, you store it (attached to the lens) in a reverse position (page 55 of your User Guide).

If you need to wipe the lens if it's smudged or dirty, simply use a microfibre cloth (one that's suitable for sunglasses or lenses).

My Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS Digital Camera stopped working after 6 months?

Meagan

Has anyone else had any problems with this type of camera? I had mine for about 6 months until one day it wouldn't turn on. At first I assumed it was the battery, but after recharging it, it still wouldn't work. Could the rechargeable battery, which came with the camera, be broken or is it the camera that's messed up?
The only thing I can think of that might have caused my camera to stop working it is that I had it in a bag with a water bottle which could have gotten the camera wet from its condensation. Is that really enough to break a 200 dollar digital camera?

Answer
It is under the Canon one year warranty

Call them and get an RMA number and have them repair it for you.

800.OK-CANON

EDIT: If Canon finds that the camera was damaged by water, you will have to pay for the repairs. YES, water can do that to even a $6000 camera. Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Sony all make waterproof cameras.

Underwater Digital Camera help?

oh heyy

I want to get an amazing underwater digital camera, I love photography and don't want to have to worry about the camera getting wet. I also would love it to have as good a zoom and picture quality possible. I really like the Canon Powershot d10, but it is so bulky and I'm scared that if I buy it, a new, better camera will come out. I don't need a new camera until summer 2010, do you know if there will be a new model of an underwater camera coming out?!

Thanks!

Digital Camera?

jmagg516

i am looking for a digital camera to get that is small, takes good quality pictures, and will last awhile. also that is good for fast shot and gets steady picturs...i dont know which brand to get or which camera to get...any suggestions or ideas for a camera that would be good

Answer
Look for a camera with a 1) minimum 5 megapixels (mp), this is very good for most users. 2) 4x optical zoom is good, don't worry too much about digital zoom. 3) Best to stick with regular (or rechargeable) AA batteries. Lithium battery are good, but not easy to find if you're on vacation and need batteries at a convienence store or can recharge quickly. 4) I see that many digital cameras are doing away with the optical viewfinder (the old fashioned way of looking through the viewfinder to take a picture), and strickly having just the LCD screen to compose a shot to take. I, personally still like the optical viewfinder to really focus on a particular subject, or use on a really sunny day where it's hard to see your subject(s) on the screen, or just to save battery power on my camera. These are just a few things to consider for your first camera. Here's what I have...

I LOVE my Canon PowerShot A620. It's a 7.1 mp camera which takes awesome still shots, and just as awesome video. Great for home and everyday use. Easy to take on vacations and you can take some really artistic/creative photos too. A great all-around camera. My 35mm cameras are Canon too, and I still love and use it. .

I had a Sony, and I gave that to my daughter, and purchased the Canon PowerShot A610 for my teenage son. The Canon A610 is exactly like my A620, but is a 5 mp digital camera. They both take GREAT pictures, but my favorite thing about the camera, is the vari-angle LCD screen. You can even hook it up to your tv and see your pictures/video on whatever size screen you have. It's pretty neat on the big screens! (The necessary cords come with it). It is very easy to use, and a camera you can grow with. http://www.usa.canon.com
Go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras.

Our A610/A620 has a setting, call "kids&pets". Typically you use these on the subjects that usually has a hard time keeping still. But I also use this setting when taking pictures of my soccer team during game play. I've also taken pictures of my kids, nieces and nephews jumping in the air, a la cheerleader jumps, with great results. Lag time is very, very, very minimal. (e.g. delay from pressing button to actual camera capturing the shot). This is just one of the many settings the camera has to offer and you can also manually set and program your own settings.

For ease of point and shoot, just choose the setting in which you're taking pictures of, (i.e. indoor, outdoor, nighttime, portrait, fireworks, snow, beach, and 'auto' [automatic]), and it'll adjust accordingly the proper exposure/settings. And it even has an 'underwater' mode to use, but that's if you purchase the special housing for the camera. (I don't have the housing. I'll wait to save up or find it for very inexpensive). If you get more experience or for the experienced, you can manually choose exposure and settings like the old 35 mm.

I'm a bargain hunter. I purchased both NEW Canon this late spring 2006 on line. My son's was under $200 and mine was $204. Just Google (or Froogle) or Yahoo! Search any Canon model, and then see which merchant has the best price with those low price websites and order on-line. The price is waaaay better than going physically to the stores. If you need it right away, just upgrade the shipping. It's still cheaper than buying at the stores. No matter what model camera you're searching for, better prices are on-line.

I don't know if you'll find this model (A610) at the stores. They have newer models, the A630 (8mp) and the A640 (10mp), they boast more mega-pixels and ISO settings. But 5mp, more than suffices for most users. What I did was physically touched and feel the camera at the store, then go on-line to purchase. But if you prefer to purchase at the stores, some good places are Best Buy, Wal Mart and Target. Suprisingly enough, they have good selection at Wal-Mart and Target.

Here is the link if you'd like to check out the specs on these models and other Canon cameras: http://www.usa.canon.com
and go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras. It tells you what the camera has and what it looks like up close.

While you're searching on-line, you'll also find many reviews on these cameras. All with many positives things to say about the camer and you can also find information on these cameras in Yahoo! Tech http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras...

Hope this helps in your hunt for a digital camera!

digital camera?

pikzzi

im looking for a camera with a quick flash. the camera i have now sucks the capture is delayed like 3 seconds. i know that dosent sound slow but i have an 18 month old and in 3 seconds hes done smiling and taking off down the hall or he closes him eyes because of the flash. so if anyone can help me out with some really good camera models (not no $600 $700 cameras lol) i would really appriciate it

Answer
It sounds like you have an old camera (3 to 4 years old?). Since you bought yours, cameras, like computers, have gotten a lot faster. There are now many cameras, even in the lower price range, that could meet your needs.

My Fujifilm Finepix F20 is very, very fast. It takes night and action shots like a ninja. In stores, it's since been replaced by the F45d and the f50fd. So long as it's Fujifilm and the model begins with an F, you're good.

Also, try the Canon Powershot A560. The models before it had decent color, but the A560 (and probably its successor the A570) also has nice shutter speed. If you want something sleek-looking, go for the more expensive Canon SD1000.

Both the Fujifilm F20 and Canon A560 can be found for around $140.

And if you turn off the flash, either of these cameras will be able to compensate with a higher ISO, so that the picture will still be correctly exposed. No more closed-eye pictures!

And by the way, I believe you when you say that a delay of 3 seconds is slow. I used to have a camera just like that. For me, the problem wasn't missing a baby's smile, but the fact that night pictures came out so goshdarn blurry! (blurriness is caused by slow shutter speed, not lack of megapixels. In fact, megapixels have no effect on picture quality, despite what the ad's say)

Answer
People so often ask: "Which one is a good camera to buy?"
A quick search would have given you hundreds of replies, but once again here is my 10 cents on the subject:

Point & Shoot cameras are wonderfully handy because of their small size.
When light conditions are ideal, they even take really nice photos - all of them do.

However, they all DO have limitations - they don't do very well in low light situations (i.e. noisy photos, hard to avoid blur, etc). The little onboard flash is very harsh at close range, and doesn't reach very far.
Many of them have no manual functions, so you are limited to only very basic photos, you can't compensate for unusual situations, or do many fun "tricks" and special effects.
P&S's also suffer from frustrating shutterlag and many of them chew through batteries rather quickly.

However, if you're ok with all those limitations, then go ahead and pick one, most of them (the same type and same price range) are rather similar. Personally I would pick either a Canon or a Nikon, and would certainly stay away from Kodak.

A higher end P&S will give you more manual options and better quality. Many of those even give you the option of adding a proper flash (which makes a big difference to your flash photos).

Don't worry too much about megapixelsâ¦. there is a limit to how many pixels you can squash into a tiny P&S sensor before you actually LOSE quality rather than gain it.
Don't worry about digital zoom, in fact, don't EVER use it. It simply crops away pixels, i.e. destroys information. The only real zoom is optical.

Decide which features are important to you, and look for cameras that have that feature.
Then go compare a few models on www.dpreview.com .

The very best thing you can do for your success is to borrow some books and learn about photography. A bit of knowledge will make a much bigger difference to your photos than your choice of P&S camera can.

For what it's worth - if I was in the market for a P&S camera right now, my choice would be a Canon Powershot SX10 IS http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17630

Canon digital camera and other non canon lens?

Ms.Matashi

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT and I was wondering what other kinds of non canon brand lenses can I use with my camera? Currently I use a Canon 50mm 1.8 and the 18-55mm kit lens.

Answer
Some lenses to consider are those from Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina. On average, each lens does not do as well as their Canon or Nikon counterparts, but still get the job done. If you want quality, get Canon lenses. If you want a cheap alternative, go to the third party brands.

As for specifics, I use a Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 at the moment, but am going to upgrade to a 70-200mm VR once I save up enough money. The Tamron is good for the money, but slow to focus. I hear this also plagues the type with the built in motor.

The type of lens you want depends on the type of shooting you're going to do. If you shoot landscapes, look into a wide angle lens, such as the Sigma 10-20mm or Tamron 17-50mm. For telephoto zoom, the 70-200mm f2.8 Tamron would be a good option. I don't care too much for the Sigma, because there are issues with the outer coating. For portrait work, I've heard good things about the Tamron 90mm macro, or the Sigma 70mm macro. I have not used Tonkina, but some people say they are good, while others do not. I guess the same goes for Sigma, but not so much with Tamron.

Good Canon macro lens?

Bryan D

I just got a Canon Digital Rebel XSi (my first DSLR) a couple months ago and I was wanting to get a new lens before I went on my trip later this month. I already have 2 lenses: the standard 18-55mm f/3.5 that came with it and a 55-250mm that I got as part of a deal for buying with the camera. I was looking at some macro lenses:

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-Macro-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0007WK8KS/ref=cm_cmu_pg_t

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-Macro-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0007WK8KS/ref=cm_cmu_pg_t

Which one is my better choice? or is there a better choice for a similar price? Also if you know where I can find either of these for cheaper that would be great to know too. (Please be as specific and technical as possible)

Thanks for your answer

Answer
If you are going to use macro to shoot things like insects, the 100mm is a good choice,because you don't have to get so close to the subject to have it fly away. However, if you are going to use macro to shoot stationary objects, like jewelry, coins, stamps, etc. then the EF 50mm f/2.5 compact macro can be had for about $200. It is a fast lens wich is great for low light/available light situations. Extremely versatile. With the Xsi 1.6 crop factor, this is now an 80mm, which is nice for portraiture as well. A very nice lens at an affordable price that does not match the exceptional quality you will enjoy for a couple hundred bucks. It has a magnification factor of 1:2. But when you attach Canon's Life-Size Converter, this combo delivers true 1:1 images. It is a sharp lens, and I mean "L" sharp. It has the best bokeh of any non-professional grade lens Canon makes. A sleeper that every Canon DSLR owner should add to their arsenal.

what kind of camera do they use in the 2012 amazing Spider Man?

Jan

Like Peter's main Camera? And are there cameras that look like it but arent film? Because i think his is film and I need a digital one.

Answer
In this image from Spiderman, Peter is using a Canon F1

https://www.google.com/search?biw=1809&bih=948&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=camera+used+by+peter+parker&btnG=#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=0tJBypHnx4TEeM%3A%3BHcf2hJeQmY3kXM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fthebillfold.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F12%252FPeter-Parker-on-assignment.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fthebillfold.com%252F2013%252F01%252Ffriday-estimate-14%252F%3B1600%3B1202

In this photo, he is using a Yashica Electro 35:

https://www.google.com/search?biw=1809&bih=948&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=camera+used+by+peter+parker&btnG=#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=j-hUXCli5ikV_M%3A%3BrEjFNqMgxKwP8M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.collegefashion.net%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F07%252Fpeter-header.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.collegefashion.net%252Finspiration%252Fgeek-chic-fashion-inspired-by-the-amazing-spider-man%252F%3B600%3B300

And that strap is pretty readily available on eBay etc. I actually happen to own it. Just search eBay for "hippie camera strap" or "embroidered camera strap".

Anyway, yes, Peter Parker is depicted as being a 35mm photojournalist, not digital. The Yashica Electro 35 is a rangefinder camera which is a very classic photojournalist camera because it is small and quiet. While in real life, no professional photojournalist has probably ever used a Yashica, preferring something very costly such as Leica or Zeiss, I'm quite sure that the director was sending a signal that a cheap Yashica is all one needs to take a good photo. In fact, while the Spiderman movies were shot on digital cameras, they used film for explosion and some action scenes. And while we're at it, many action hero movies such as Transformers and the Dark Knight series were shot entirely on film.

There are good reasons for this and if you really want to learn about photography, it would be worth exploring by picking up a 35mm camera! I can't imagine any reason that you as an amateur photographer NEED a digital camera over a film camera, or vice versa. They are just two different approaches to photography and workflow. If you do a little thinking and reading, you may find that you don't NEED a digital camera and that you could learn a lot from the message being sent by the director through Peter Parker's character; film is still relevant.

The Fuji X100 and X10 are modern digital cameras that LOOK like old 35mm rangefinders. But when you buy cameras like this, you are paying a premium for a digital camera that has unnecessary cosmetics. It would be more economical and educational in many cases to just shoot on a vintage 35mm camera.

Enjoy whatever camera you choose though!

what should i look at when i'm shopping for an slr camera?

Christina

its my first time buying an slr camera and I don't know how to judge a good camera from a bad..

Answer
Either Prof David Woods and the Total Digital Photography textbook are teaching misinformation or someone isnât paying attention in class. Hybrid refers to a still camera with video capability. It has nothing to do with removable lenses. Bridge cameras fill the gap between point n shoots and DSLRs and they have fixed lenses. The Rebel series are not fixed lens cameras.

Lower ISO is really no more important than high ISO. It all depends on what youre shooting. Pixels (resolution) is also more than just printing an 11 x 14. If a 6mp can print the full image at 11 x 14 but you crop out half the image first you will only get good 8 x 10s from the cropped image.

Theres a lot to consider when buying a DSLR. Overall performance, low light performance, features, feel, cost etc.

If youre just starting I suggest you look at the Pentax K-x. The quality and value are hard to beat. Check prices from B&H

Pentax K-x w/18-55 $521 HD video
Pentax K-x w/18-55 and 50-200 $625 HD video
Pentax K-x w/18-55mm and 55-300mm $715 HD video
Nikon D5000 w/18-55 $700 HD video
Rebel XS (1000D) w/18-55 $530 No video
Nikon D3000 w/18-55 $550 No video
Canon T2i w/18-55 $900 HD video
Canon 7D body only $1700 HD video
Canon 50D body only $930 No video

With the K-x Image Stabilization and Auto-focus are both in the body. No need to pay for IS or AF with each and every lens you buy as with Nikon and Canon. This will save you significant cash throughout the years you own the camera.

Outperforms other cameras in its price range and some more expensive models. See performance comparisons for the Canon XS (1000D), Nikon D3000 and Pentax K-x here
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/268%7C0/(appareil2)/331%7C0/(appareil3)/345%7C0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Canon/(brand2)/Nikon/(brand3)/Pentax

Performance between the K-x and Nikon D5000 is very close as shown in this comparison
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/320|0/(appareil2)/345|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Nikon/(brand2)/Pentax

The K-x outperforms the Canon T2i and Canon 50D See the comparison here
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/345|0/(appareil2)/338|0/(appareil3)/267|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Pentax/(brand2)/Canon/(brand3)/Canon

And the K-x outperforms the Canon 7D here with just a hair advantage to the 7D at high ISO
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/345|0/(appareil2)/329|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Pentax/(brand2)/Canon

The Pentax K-x is a beginner friendly camera.

ImagingResource
âThe Pentax Kx has enormous value, thanks to its remarkable image and print quality, fine build, and class-leading burst speed, all combining to make one impressive digital SLR camera. The Pentax Kx is a Daveâs Pick. For sheer image quality at a wide range of ISOs, the Pentax Kx is tough to beat, especially for the price.â

DCResource
âThe Pentax K-x is an impressive entry-level digital SLR. It brings very good image quality (especially with a decent lens), snappy performance, tons of features, HD movie recording, and good build quality to the table. If youâre looking for your first digital SLR, then the K-x should be high on your list.â

MacWorld.uk (Editorâs Choice)
âUltimately, this is a beginner-friendly model featuring most of the latest must-havesâ
http://www.digitalcameratracker.com/pentax-k-x-reviews-sample-photos/

Its true there are more Nikon and Canon lenses available. Check the prices. Can you afford all the lenses available? If you can do you plan on buying each and every one? There are more than enough Pentax and third party lenses available for any photographer.

Can't save some video from camera to PC?

Anthony R

I use a canon digital camera, and use it to shoot videos sometimes. Some of the vids I shoot won't save on my PC. It'll save, as in, when I look in the folder, it's there, but when I check the properties, it shows the vid as 0 bytes, which means it's not really there. The ones that do save show the MB size when I check the properties. Does this have anything to do with size? E.g., vids that are 500 mb will save, but one that is 930 mb won't save. Help!

Answer
Hi Anthony:

First, when you are asking a technical or PC-related question, it helps to give all the specific details that you can about the gear involved: i.e., your Canon "digital camera" model number (I'll assume it's a point-&-shoot still camera, since you only use it for video "sometimes") and what model PC (and Windows version) you have.

Some digital cameras store thumbnail files as well as the full-video file, so that may be part of your problem.

Your Canon camera should have come with a CD-ROM containing a "media browser" (Canon or Pixela brand) for transferring photos and videos properly to your PC. That would be your best & easiest solution.

Otherwise, use one of Window's built-in "wizards" (the dialog box that pops up when you insert an SD card from your camera) and have it automatically search & load your video files.

Feel free to update your Question using the "Additional Details" link on the Action Bar, if you need more specifics.

hope this helps,
--Dennis C.

Canon Digital Cameras?

lipslikesu

From what I've heard from photographers, Canon is the best brand. I'm looking into buying a Canon digital camera in the $300 or under price range.. any recomendations to one that takes quality photos, and is a good camera altogether?

Answer
Well Canon is the only brand I would consider. It consistently gets top marks, and I have had mostly very good experiences from the brand.
All cameras have an auto mode which means the camera will choose the aperture and shutter speed depending on lighting conditions. Others also have manual controls where you can be a bit more creative and have a little more control of certain settings.
It really depends on what sort of photographer you are and what experience you have...

There are 3 Canon cameras I am really liking at the moment and would recommend either.......(not including the digital slr cams of course!)
A good choice is the fairly compact A620, which has 7.1MP, 4x zoom, excellent image quality and has a very handy flip out and twist (vari-angle) LCD screen. The reviews for this cam have been very positive.
The new S3 IS, is a bit larger in size and has 12x optical zoom, 6MP, optical image stabilization and takes very good video in stereo sound...probably not a good choice for an absolute beginner.
Another one which i am liking the sound of is the new Powershot SD 700 IS/or Digital Ixus 800 IS in some countries. It has 6 MP, 4X zoom and is primarily a point and shoot camera, with limited manual control, takes excellent quality pics, is extremely compact and has the added benefit of having optical image stabilization to lessen the chance of blurry pics. It would be the sort of cam you could carry with you all the time, say in your pocket or handbag.
Just remember though, that most digital camera pics need some sort of post processing via Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or other software on your computer to get the best results. Check out these sites for an insight into different cameras...

Digital Camera for beginners!?

Erin

I recently became intrigued with Photography, and i also paint. So i thought its time for me to get a nice camera that i can have for a long time, and so i cant paint the photographs i take. Ive been looking at the Cannon digital cameras and i basically just need to get an overall lecture about good quality cameras and what all the letters and numbers mean in their types of camera. I barely know anything about cameras so i would like some help to start learning about them. So if someone could give me an overall summary about what i need to know about digital cameras. Basically what should i know as a beginner? Thanks so much guys

Answer
A good point and shoot model: Canon SX240HS. "Why" is explained below.

there is a fully automatic mode and it supports manual setting as well. so whenever you learn what the aperture and shutter speed, etc. mean, you can control them and get the desired output. it will basically last you from basic to intermediate level as a photographer.

some terms:
1. aperture:
this figure tells you what is the max light that the camera can take in when the shutter is fully open. aperture or F-number is expressed as an inverse e.g. F/2.0 - what this basically means is that the greater the light that camera can take in, better is the low-light sensitivity. So, if you are comparing cameras or lenses, an F/1.4 lens is better than an F/4 lens because the 1.4 can take in more light (remember, it is an inverse ratio, so smaller is better)

2. shutter speed:
when you click the button to capture your shot, the shutter opens, lets the light fall on the sensor and then shuts. The speed at which this happens is the shutter speed. Again, if the shutter remains open for a longer time, it lets more light in. A high shutter speed needs to be used in low-light conditions to let the max light enter to get a good shot. However, your hand needs to remain steady when the shutter is open otherwise you get blurred shots. Similarly, if you are shooting a fast-moving object, the shutter needs to open and close very fast to get a crisp shot. A good camera will allow you to select a wide range of shutter speeds.

Aperture and shutter speed are inversely co-related. If the aperture is large, more light comes in and hence shutter needs to remain open for a short time. This means, you can hold the camera in your hand and click a crisp shot. But, if the aperture is small, you need to have a large shutter speed so that equivalent amount of light comes in for a good shot. you need to hold the camera steady during this duration. this is where Image Stabilization comes in.

3. image stabilization:
some of the good cameras have Optical image stabilization. this means, the lens assembly actually rests on a gyro and moves to compensate for small shakes that occur when you try to hold the camera steady. some cheaper cameras and cell-phones also have Digital image stabilization which is less powerful and is software-controlled. Go for a camera with optical image stabilization.

4. ISO
ISO rating is the sensitivity of the "film" or capture element, in this case, the camera's sensor. A higher ISO is more sensitive to light. So again, if you take image at ISO 100, your shutter speed would be, say, X. If you now increase the ISO to 800, your shutter speed will be MUCH less than X because the high ISO compensates for the less light coming in because of a quick shutter speed.
So, in places where FLASH is not allowed (e.g. Louvre), you need to bump up the ISO so that you can shoot with a shutter speed that is comfortable enough to shoot with the camera in your hand. If you have a TRIPOD, this is not an issue as the camera will be held steady by the tripod.

Digital cameras: Casio, Canon, Panasonic...?

lukeandmar

I had a Casio 10MP Exilim (got it at Halloween). Had it for less than 3 months, and the lense got stuck in the out position (just as I was going to snap a photo)- and wouldn't go back in. That being said - I had to return it.

Now, I have store credit to buy a camera...

These are the ones I can choose from (within my budget):

The same Casio 10MP Exilim (give it another try) OR

Canon Powershot A650 IS (12MP)

Canon Powershot SD850 IS (8MP)

Panasonic DMC-FZ18 (8MP)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 (8MP)

Any advice out there?

I have two kids under the age of two and I use my camera for them mostly. Lots and lots of pics, action shots, quick photos, and a lot of short video...

PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be appreciated!!!

thanks!

Answer
I'd personally choose a Canon for its reputation and its position as a leader. However, considering these cameras are within the same price range, they have pretty much the same set of features so any would do. The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 looks very nice and is probably the best bet in there since it's a "bridge" camera, in other words a cross-over between compact P/C and a digital SLR. It SHOULD give you better performances than compact point and shoots cameras (i.e. less delay between shots, better resolution because of its larger sensor, better noise control etc.) good luck!

what is the best digital camera brand?

murder.dea

Answer
I LOVE my Canon PowerShot A620. It's a 7.1 mp camera which takes awesome still shots, and just as awesome video. Great for home and everyday use. Easy to take on vacations and you can take some really artistic/creative photos too. A great all-around camera. My 35mm cameras are Canon too, and I still love and use it. .

I had a Sony, and I gave that to my daughter, and purchased the Canon PowerShot A610 for my teenage son. The Canon A610 is exactly like my A620, but is a 5 mp digital camera. They both take GREAT pictures, but my favorite thing about the camera, is the vari-angle LCD screen. You can even hook it up to your tv and see your pictures/video on whatever size screen you have. It's pretty neat on the big screens! (The necessary cords come with it). It is very easy to use, and a camera you can grow with. http://www.usa.canon.com
Go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras.

Our A610/A620 has a setting, call "kids&pets". Typically you use these on the subjects that usually has a hard time keeping still. But I also use this setting when taking pictures of my soccer team during game play. I've also taken pictures of my kids, nieces and nephews jumping in the air, a la cheerleader jumps, with great results. Lag time is very, very, very minimal. (e.g. delay from pressing button to actual camera capturing the shot). This is just one of the many settings the camera has to offer and you can also manually set and program your own settings.

For ease of point and shoot, just choose the setting in which you're taking pictures of, (i.e. indoor, outdoor, nighttime, portrait, fireworks, snow, beach, and 'auto' [automatic]), and it'll adjust accordingly the proper exposure/settings. And it even has an 'underwater' mode to use, but that's if you purchase the special housing for the camera. (I don't have the housing. I'll wait to save up or find it for very inexpensive). If you get more experience or for the experienced, you can manually choose exposure and settings like the old 35 mm.

I'm a bargain hunter. I purchased both NEW Canon this late spring 2006 on line. My son's was under $200 and mine was $204. Just Google (or Froogle) or Yahoo! Search any Canon model, and then see which merchant has the best price with those low price websites and order on-line. The price is waaaay better than going physically to the stores. If you need it right away, just upgrade the shipping. It's still cheaper than buying at the stores. No matter what model camera you're searching for, better prices are on-line.

I don't know if you'll find this model (A610) at the stores. They have newer models, the A630 (8mp) and the A640 (10mp), they boast more mega-pixels and ISO settings. But 5mp, more than suffices for most users. What I did was physically touched and feel the camera at the store, then go on-line to purchase. But if you prefer to purchase at the stores, some good places are Best Buy, Wal Mart and Target. Suprisingly enough, they have good selection at Wal-Mart and Target.

Here is the link if you'd like to check out the specs on these models and other Canon cameras: http://www.usa.canon.com
and go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras. It tells you what the camera has and what it looks like up close.

While you're searching on-line, you'll also find many reviews on these cameras. All with many positives things to say about the camer and you can also find information on these cameras in Yahoo! Tech http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras...

digital camera?

gabe

Does anyone know where to send a Polaroid digital camera (izone 550) to get repaired, or what website can help me.

Answer
Repairs on a digital camera are very expensive, especially considering the prices of digitals have come down drastically. When I worked in a camera store, the average repair for a digital was $200-$300 on a camera of about the same price. Seems ridiculous. Seriously, get a new one, and never ever buy a polaroid digital camera. The camera's with the least amount of repair problems would definitely be Canon, followed secondly by Nikon. I would not recommend any others.

Best-Reasonable Price Digital Camera?

UnDeep H20

Looking to buy a digital camera with video capabilities. Any suggestions- medium range price.

Answer
Depending on your budget, check these sites out:
http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-...
http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/

Canon and Fuji has great videos, but not Sony.
Go to circuit city store to see how they are first before buying online.
I recently purchased 2 Canon A570 IS combos from newegg.com for my cousin.
After receiving it, they don't like the way it looks.
The camera has all the latest Canon technologies like image stabilization and face detection.
The wife wants a better looking camera.

If looks are more important than technology, quality, and reliability then get a Sony.

From experience, Fuji are not reliable, Sony takes poor movies indoor, Canon is most reliable and solid.
Canon camera are heavier than most for a reason.
They pack in all those high techs to make a great picture.

I never try Nikon, don't think I will unless they have something that is better than what Canon has.
I want to buy American like Kodak, but don't like all those bad customer comments.

Shop at the stores and buy online.
Don't buy from Amazon unless you want to wait a week or two for you stuff.
Buy.com and Newegg.com are my favorite places to shop, they ship fast for only a few dollar more.

Good Luck!

travel camera.. (come in! help me to choose or suggest me!)?

Cristiawan

what do you think i should buy for my travel camera? olympus ep3 ? fujifilm x100? leica m9? i need some kind "like" digital rangefinder camera.. and have a vintage camera body.. suggest me something else?

Answer
Travel cameras want to be powerful and small. The Fuji X100 is really nice but is a prime lens so it is really like a vintage camera.

You might also consider the Sony NEX5. It is not quite as vintage looking, but it is small, and it has an APS size sensor.

Other cameras that are almost vintage looking are the Canon G12 and Nikon P7000, but they have smaller sensors than the others you have mentioned.

My brother said that a Canon G12 is really similar to a digital camera. Is it ?

Q. I'm only 15 and I don't have a job so it takes forever for me to save up money. I've been wanting a decent camera. Better can a digital camera, but not a dSLR. I don't have that kind of money for a dSLR ): Is the camera worth it? I just need it to take family vacation pictures since we go on vacations a lot and my camera quality sucks. I have no intention in being a photographer.
And if I wanted to record, would I have to buy a separate mic if I want sound?

Answer
It's called a bridge camera. Because it "bridges" the gap between a traditional point and shoot and a DSLR. If you want high quality photos and videos, but not a DSLR, then this is the perfect camera for you. The "G" of cameras are built like tanks. I have the G5, and it still works just fine. Slow, but it's still cranking out shots. And it does have a built in mic for video recording, but the sound quality won't blow you away. I think there is an external mic jack on that camera, so you could certainly purchase an external microphone.

best canon compact digital camera? for non professional use?

xclusively

Answer
Canon g12 and Canon s95 are top compact cameras from Canon. Both have same image sensor, hence the same image quality, but g12 has more dials on the top and a larger lens, so it's not that compact actually, it's more of a bridge camera. But s95 is a real high end compact camera.
Other top cameras comparable to Canon s95 are Lumix LX5 and Olympus XZ-1

what does ELPH stand for in reference to digital cameras?

mariner111

Answer
ELPH does not refer to any digital camera, it refers specifically to a line of Canon Digital Cameras. Basically its the combination of Elf + Photograph = ELPH. Here's wikipedia's way of saying it more technically:

Canon ELPH can refer to the following:

* Canon's Digital ELPH series of cameras
* The Canon ELPH series of APS cameras
* The original Canon ELPH camera introduced in 1996

"Elph name The name 'Elph' appeared in both mixed case and upper case in earlier Elph cameras, but recent cameras have standardized on upper case only, leading some to erroneously blieve 'ELPH' refers to the acronym for Electronic Physics. In actuality, it is a combination of the word 'elf' (for a camera that is small and magical) and the word 'photograph.' Besides being memorable marketing, the use of a non-standard spelling of 'elf' makes it a defensible Copyright."

Goodluckk!

is the Canon PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH Camera
a good camera. i want to buy it so i would like to see what you have to say before i go spend money on it. just tell me what you like and dont like about it. thank you

Answer
For the price, it is a good little camera, but it is lacking either a view finder or IS. You need at least one of those features to assure sharp images shooting in low light situations without flash.

For about $30 more you can get a great camera that has both.

canon digital camera 7.1?

Dancing gi

In this camera, can the camera make the picture black and white and have an object just be in color?

Answer
Which canon model camera, and which line? the next time you ask a question include that little tid-bit of information. It'll allow us to answer your questions more clearly. So, having that said, i may be unable to fully answer your question. So, usually if you just have a little 7 megapixel, slim and slender canon powershot camera, you can't do this. The feature that allows you to do such is " color accent ", singles out a color, and everything else is in black and white. If you want to get this feature, you'll have to spend quite a bit of money, at least 200$ in my opinion. So, i have a canon powershot s3IS, it has color swap and color accent, but it was a three hundred dollar camera, and i guess that feature could have been expected. There's a newer version of this camera that canon powershot s5IS, which is about the same, and has all of the same features
Remember: if you can't afford a canon camera that can do such, you'll have to pay to get a software. ( i haven't heard of a free software which let you do as such)

what digital camera is a lot like the canon rebel but cheaper, with the lens and everything?

Em

i was looking for a camera that would be less than a canon rebel!! but i really like the rebel!! but it is way too expensive!! i am looking for a kit that has the lens included in it.

Answer
What do you consider "way too expensive?" I ask because new DSLRs start at about $450. And if you like the Canon Rebel, you should know there are three current Rebel models. The XS, XSi and T1i. The XS is the cheapest and is sold for about $500 with the 18-55mm IS kit lens. The T1i is the newest and most expensive Rebel at about $750 with the same kit lens. With the exception of shooting video, the Rebel XS can do almost everything the T1i can do and use all the same lenses.

As someone else mentioned, there's also the Nikon D40 if you can find any remaining in stock. These were selling for a about $450 with an 18-55mm kit lens. The D40's replacement, the D3000 sells for about $550 with an 18-55mm VR kit lens. There's no difference in quality between Canon and Nikon. Which is better boils down to personal preference when you actually handle the cameras in person. I've shot both all my life and I like both. I currently shoot Canon but will also happily recommend Nikon.

You should also know that Olympus, Pentax, Sony and others offer DSLRs as alternatives to the more common Canon and Nikon brands. Occasionally, these cameras will be cheaper than Canon or Nikon by a few dollars at any given price range but, even Pentax's cheapest entry level cameras start at about $450 with an 18-55mm kit lens which is no cheaper than the cheapest Nikon or Canon with a rebate. (Canon is offering rebates on certain cameras through January 2010)

Check http://www.adorama.com or http://www.bhphotovideo.com for prices. These are two of the best known online retailers of DSLR cameras. There is also http://www.keh.com which is one of the biggest online dealers of used cameras.

What is the best digital camera out there?

Shroomy

I am looking for a really good digital camera that an amateur like myself can easily use.
I prefer something from Canon, Nikon, or Samsung, but I'm not too picky about the brand.
The price doesn't matter as long as it's not too expensive.
It needs to be something that doesn't die right away, and I would like it to be pretty small.

Thanks!

looking for a digital camera?

Milkshaaak

can anyone tell me the best make to get?
and possible a website?
I am looking to do shots outside, i want a very good focus and good zoom, thanks for your help.

Answer
Recommend Canon PowerShot SX200IS .
I'm giving it a 5 Star rating - is it perfect however! No, but for MY needs, it great.

Pro's:
1) Great picture quality - generally speaking indoor pictures are pretty good, noise low on anything below 400ISO, comparable to my Canon G7, much better than my Sony T500, as good - if not better than my old Panasonic TZ5. Outdoor - outstanding - what you would expect from a Canon, sharp, clear, good color, nicely exposed. Have not fooled around with manual settings, but nice to have.
2) I like the design and find it easy to hold (no slippage in my big fat fingers!). Other cameras make it easy for you to hold your finger over the mic or flash, but not here.
3) Flash - I do not mind the pop-up. No big deal for me! Works good too!
4) Menu's are pretty easy to navigate - no problem here.
1) HD Video - I really like the quality of the video, nice wide screen playback on my 40" Samsung HDTV and looks great on the desktop. Playback is easy and smooth, no problem. (not diggin' the digital zoom - see my cons). Codec actually works with my Windows Media Player without any hick-ups or wiggles. It's not perfect (like "Sunrise Earth" HD quality), but pretty nice for taking shots of the kids and grandkid, etc. Again, plays nice on the HDTV. Sound quality is only mono, but SOOOO much better than the Panasonic TZ5 (my deal breaker for the TZ5) it's no comparison. The Sony T500 beats them both for sound quality - it's stereo! Remember, during video you can NOT optically zoom this camera, but you can digitally zoom - it's not great, but will get you a little closer if you need.
6) IS - works great
7) Zoom nice and smooth - focus is fast and accurate.
8) Battery - pretty good - seems to last me the day - I bought an extra just in case.
9) Auto Focus works like a charm, even in low light - no problem here.
10) Macro looks great - took some beautiful shots of flowers and roses in my backyard.
11) Easy to carry around - not to big, not to small either - just right!
12) Overall quality and "feel" is nice! Seems well built and should hold up to many outings with the kids and hiking around.

Cons:
1) No optical zoom with the Video. If this camera was able to optically zoom, it would be as good as it gets for a point and shoot with HD Video! Come on Canon - what's up with that!!!! Panasonic can do it -why can't you! Do you want your customers to jump ship when the new Panasonic TZ7 comes out??????? If SOMEONE could.......please, please, please, hack this and help me. Maybe Canon will do some kind of firmware update and allow optical zoom. I can put up with the motor noise of the zoom for this ability!!!!!!!! While you're at the firmware hack - if you could disable the flash pop-up that would be nice too!
2) Indoor shots a bit soft, but just about all P&S's are, the SX200 is pretty darn good though.
3) In the Auto mode, the camera automatically (hence "auto" mode) picks the setting it thinks it needs for the best shot. For example, if you real close to an object, it will automatically switch to Macro, then turn back to other modes if you take another shot - this process takes a little time (maybe a second or two) to switch. I do not mind because that is what is supposed to do, it just takes a "learning curve" understand what is happening.

Canon PowerShot SX200IS
12.1-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality poster-size prints
12x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer; 28mm wide-angle lens
HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output
3.0-inch LCD screen; Face Detection, Blink Detection
Compatible with SD/SDHC, MMC/MMC Plus/HC MMC Plus
Price: $349.95

Do digital cameras have a unique imprint so that you could tell if a picture was taken from a specific camera?

woodruff10

I have a Canon ZR 850 / ZR 830 Digital Video Camcorder that takes still photos. My camera was stolen and I know who took it but do not have any proof. This woman posted some pictures on myspace that she took with my camera. Is there a way to tell one camera apart from others? When I right click on her pictures it will show the properties with I thought might have something. Also I bought my camera off of my Dell credit so there is record that I originally purchased the camera.

Answer
Most newer model cameras have the serial number embedded in the exif data. If you have original images on your computer from the camera that was stolen you should be able to retrieve the Serial Number of the camera that they were made with, this would be reasonably good evidence that you once had possession of that particular camera.. Then all you have to do is find an image posted with extended exif data that you suspect was made with the stolen camera and you should be able to see the Serial # of the camera used and compare them to those you made. You may need to get an exif reader/editor if your photo editor doesn't show the data you are looking for. Google exif to find free viewers & editors.

HOWEVER, there are programs that allow people to hack most of the exif data. So what you will probably want to do is make sure YOU have pictures with the serial number that match the ones being posted and then contact the police and have them investigate because it is much harder for someone to change the serial number of the physical camera. It may be on a printed label or sticker on the camera that can be altered or removed BUT the number is ALSO embedded in the firmware of the camera.

HTH, Good luck.

Canon digital camera?

Be B

I just got a canon digital camera model a720. This camera also takes short videos...I read the instruction manual, 2 times.
How do I get the videos off of the camera and to the computer?
Step by step please?

Answer
I don't know your camera's exact model but this is what I do for my cannon,
a) Pop the memory card out (should be an flap ont he side of your camera that you can push the card in and it then pops out)
b) you then insert it into your computer, or an external memory card reader which hooks into your computer via a USB port.
c) go to 'my computer' click your memory card and navigate to your video that you took and copy / cut and then paste it into a folder on your computer.
Voila, theres one way to do it. :-D

Number 2
a) your camera should have come with software (on a CD) and a cable.
b) install the software
c) hook your cable into your camera
d) do the same thing you do for taking off your pictures but somewhere in the stpes there should be an option to take the videos off the camera or take the pictures, choose videos.

Way 3 (this is just an idea, I'm not 100% sure on this one)
a) take that cable used in way 2 and plug in your camera to your computer, then you might be able to navigate from my computer to your camera and pull the files off similarly to way 1.

If you didn't get a CD or cable with your camera, then you need to return the camera or go ask the store that you bought it from. If you have a memory card slot on your computer (which many new computers do have) then use that, it's the easiest way to pull pictures, and videos off your camera.

Hope that was helpful ;-)

My Digital Canon Camera Not showing images.?

Anthony

I have a Canon Powershot A300 digital camera that has been working well since 2005 until last week when I suddenly couldn't see images. The LCD is just black when I try to focus or take a picture. But I can scroll and see the items in the display and menu areas as well as all the images recorded in the memory card. My batteries are excellent and I have always opened the apperture for the lens when taking pictures.

How could the image sensor become faulty all of a sudden? How can I have it repaired or anything replaced because I wonder if the warranty is still applicable after 5 years. I have been using it in Kenya, East Africa.

Please advise if you have had a similar problem or know how to resolve this.

Answer
That camera came out in 2003. It has only 3MP, which aren't very many compared to the cameras out there today. And it doesn't have any zoom either, It does have a viewfinder though, doesn't it? Can you look through that to take your pictures?

The warranty is only good for one year on most compact cameras, so it would cost you a lot to get it fixed. I sure wouldn't put any money into a camera that old. For the money it would probably cost you, providing they still have parts for one that old, you could buy a new camera.

If you are in the US, you could call Canon at 800-OK-CANON and see what they say, but as I said, I wouldn't put any money into one that old.

Most of the Canon Powershot A series cameras have viewfinders, which I feel are very important. If you can find a Powershot A590IS, they have had a very good rating for an inexpensive camera. You could get one for less than $150. It has 8MP, Image Stabilizer to help you get steady shots, a viewfinder, 4x optical zoom and you can even manually set the aperture and shutter speed. But there are other ones out there that are good, too. You can look at some of them here---

Canon EOS Utilities Question?

Answer
Have you tried Uninstalling Canon CameraWindow? CameraWindow is mainly needed for Windows 98. Most recent Operating Systems will support the camera without the need for any special drivers that CameraWindow provides. EOS Utility and ZoomBrowser should still work without it installed.

I'm basically wanting one of these for making videos for YouTube and for everyday use. I am wanting it to be able take up to 10 minute videos or more so I can put them on YouTube. Do you know how long the video time range is on either one of these cameras? Do you like the quality of the pictures and videos on these cameras? If you have either of these cameras please tell me why you like it and what you don't like about it. Thanks!!

Answer
I recommend the Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. This camera can take a limit of one hour or 4GBs worth of video. These videos can be replayed on a computer and uploaded to YouTube. You can find this camera on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-SD1200IS-Stabilized-Dark-Gray/dp/tech-data/B001SER492/ref=de_a_smtd.

The SD1200 has some big changes over its predecessor SD1100, and is the smallest, best designed Elph I've used thus far.

I've owned many models of Elph, this is my 6th or 7th, so my review is aimed especially at other serial Canon owners. I mostly compare the SD1200 to the SD1100.

* The big changes: Digic4 and a larger CCD sensor. The slight increase in CCD size (1/2.3" vs 1/2.5") should make for "cleaner" photos. And Digic4 promises faster/cleaner shots also.

* You get 10MP vs 8MP on the SD1100, and "medium" (M1) size is now 6MP. JPG quality is down to 2 setting: Fine or Normal.

* SD1200 is only slightly smaller than the SD1100, but feels notably smaller by virtue of curved edges and the LCD being flush with the body (no bump-out).

* The 1200 now feels as small as this design can shrink. Good news: my average-sized male hands can still comfortably hold it, barely not covering lens, flash, or resting on the LCD. But the round power-button is now almost too small to press if you had big fingers and no fingernails.

* 1200's new battery is a higher capacity 1000mAh (vs ~760mAh for SD1100). There's also a new charger (not compatible with the old batteries), a glossy white-colored model to blend into your wall.

* The buttons and menus are streamlined. There's now a button for review mode, pressing it a 2nd time takes you back to the previous state. Handy. The slider has dedicated AUTO and Manual settings, no longer need to use menus for that switch.

* Continuous mode and ISO now are in the Function Menu (on the SD1100, they had dedicated buttons).

* A SD card is no longer included. This makes sense to me, a 32MB card is barely useful, and with the downward pressure on electronics prices, I can't imagine Canon wanting to bundle a more expensive/bigger card. Some people will find this lack annoying.

* The A/V output is gone, and the USB connector now serves both purposes (both kinds of included cables now have a USB-end)

* A new version of Canon software is required for this model, Zoombrowser 6.3. Canon typically requires a new release for each new family/season of cameras. Unfortunately, the CameraWindow software has been intentionally dumbed-down in the 6.x software and no longer offers the options to delete your photos (have to go through the OS), nor to chose custom naming for the downloads. I say intentionally, since I asked Canon customer-support about it and they stated the changes were not bugs. The last Canon software to still have that functionality was 5.x, corresponding to the SD1000 and other cameras released that season.

* In casual indoor tests, the 1200 seemed more ready to go to ISO400 (often too "noisy" to be useful) when the SD1100 would have chosen ISO200.

* The SD1200 and SD1100 have identical specs on their optics. However, I noticed a more pronounced barrel-distortion on the 1200 at extreme wide-angle. (still only noticable in close-up shots of straight-edged items at wide-angle)

* In a casual speed test, the SD1200 took/stored photos notably faster the SD1100 (same scene, continuous-mode, same brand SD card), despite the 1200's image size being larger.

* Canon's paper manuals have been shrinking steadily. With this model, the only manual included is a quick-start guide, the rest is on CD-ROM.

* The packaging is even more efficient than before, about half the size of the SD1100's box.

* Sadly, there is no HD video mode, although all of the other Elphs released this spring had HD. SD1200 owners are stuck with 640x480 video.

Canon has several sub-series within the compact Elph line, varying mostly by asthetics and optics. The SD1200 is successor to the series that included the SD1100, SD1000, and SD600. These all favor a classic, slim design. If you're unfamiliar with Canon's Powershot cameras, there's lots of good material out there on camera sites such as dpreview.

In general, the small sensors and optics in all ultra-compact digital cameras lead to some optical quirks (such as barrelling), chromatic aberrations, over/under-exposure in bright sunlight/shade, and underpowered flashes. That's intrinsic to the size of camera, and vendors try to correct these effects in their on-board processing. My opinion is that Canon does a good job of correcting for these issues and the Elphs including the SD1200 take very good photos for their size.
